 NDC STATEMENT ON COURT RULING Our attention has been drawn to a ruling by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja this morning, wherein His Lordship, Honourable Justice Isah Dashen, gave a ruling on an application filed by an unregistered association known as Peace Movement Party. The public knows that by December 2025, the Nigeria Democratic Congress  as an association complained of INEC’s refusal to register us as a political party, whereupon we proceeded to the Federal High Court. The Federal High Court upheld our constitutional right to freedom of association under the Constitution and compelled INEC to register us, which INEC did. Since then, we have started political activities, embarked on the registration of members, held congresses from ward to national levels, held conventions, and concluded primaries to all offices following INEC’s timetable. We have been fully participating in all INEC activities without let or hindrance. NDC also fielded candidates, and fully pa...

GERMAN LUXURY CARMAKER AUDI HAS REMOVED ITS ICONIC FOUR RINGS LOGO IN CHINA, A MOVE THAT HAS SPARKED SHOCK AND DEBATE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. (PHOTO).


 German luxury carmaker Audi has removed its iconic four rings logo in China, a move that has sparked shock and debate on social media. 

The logo, a symbol of Audi’s legacy since the 1930s, was missing from the new E Concept electric sportback showcased in Shanghai earlier this month. Instead, the car featured “AUDI” written in bold capital letters on the front. This decision comes as other automakers, like Jaguar, face criticism for their rebranding efforts, with many users online labeling Audi’s change as a “bad move” and “confusing.”


The rebranding is part of a collaboration between Audi and Chinese automaker SAIC to co-develop electric vehicles targeted at younger customers in the world’s largest auto market. The move aims to appeal to China’s younger premium car buyers, with an average age of 30-35 years compared to 55 in other global markets. According to Fermin Soneira, CEO of the project, the new EV series will prioritize advanced features such as driver-assistance systems to attract tech-savvy drivers.


Audi’s rebranding also reflects an effort to regain market share in China, where local brands and foreign EV-focused rivals are rapidly growing. Audi sold less than 15,000 EVs in China during the first nine months of 2024, far behind Chinese premium EV brands like Nio and Xpeng, which sold 10 and seven times more, respectively. The new models will integrate automotive technology co-developed with SAIC and rely on local suppliers to enhance competitiveness.


While Audi hopes the change will appeal to Chinese customers, many online have expressed disappointment, describing the move as the “Chinesification of foreign premium brands.” Some fear the change undermines the global recognition of Audi’s four rings logo. However, the company remains focused on evolving its strategy to meet the demands of China’s younger, tech-oriented market.
